Warning: After each Use Always remove Filter Assembly
and the Dust Cup Cover with the
Debris Screen, then vigorously
“TapClean” HEPA Filter and clean
Debris Screen and Non-Woven PreFilter until no more dust can be
removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Filter will stop most of
the tiniest dust particles and airborne
allergens from re-entering the air you
breathe. In fact it stops 99.97% of all
particles as small as 0.3 microns - many
times smaller than a human hair!!!
Because of this incredible filtration
performance, the HEPA Filter will quickly
accumulate, inside the white filter folds,
many fine dust particles that are difficult
to see but which will eventually block or
reduce your suction power - if not
cleaned properly.
WARNING: Always remove the power
